    "No way that you could scale up to a million people on Mars without something catastrophic happening."

    • the mars project is such crap... they might manage to bring one dude there... for a billions of dollars and then it will go dormant...neverscared
    • commercialisation of space is financially insane with current tech ...but hey people also like mcdonalds...neverscared
    • Haven't read the article but why would you want to scale to a million people?palimpsest
    • That will make a great reality show.ApeRobot
    • @pal sounds good for advertising... so a lot of people profit from it.. the inversion is the truth and the billionare tech bro will profit mostly...neverscared
    • Now I get it, the one million people is to save capitalism, not humans.palimpsest
    • what should one dude to on mars..? take a shit.. and go home again...the 444billion take a shit on mars adventure....neverscared
    • people love it..neverscared
    • I meant that 100 000 people would be enough for a sustainable colony.palimpsest
    • i doubt there will be sustainable colony of 10 people in this century nor in the next.... shit they didnt even manage to have 3 dudes on mars since the sixties.neverscared
    • You think we can pull off a sustainable colony in this century. Do you take bets?
      I think we will achieve an alien colony before I cash in that bet.

    • even that lady from nasa said on lex friedman its stoopid to build on mars and it makes more sense to build in space as in space station...neverscared
    • we can pull off nothing ... maybe some billionaires pull of sth for their kind ...not on mars though... i take bets.. i bet the mars project goes dormant afterneverscared
    • they might be able to shoot one dude there... there is probably some colony on the moon soon... the rest not so much...neverscared
    • If we're talking about stoopid, I think the idea of building a colony outside of Earth as a *solution* is stupid.palimpsest
    • I think it's feasible to achieve in this century, though.

    • sure as stoopid as mcdonalds food... its hard to tell but tech has its limits...especially with long distances in space... the inversion of scale as inneverscared
    • going into the nano and atomic scale for adventure will be the future in the mass market i think instead of heavy bulky space travel... not for rich peopleneverscared
    • though..neverscared
    • they probably sent a few hundred billionaires somewhere in space...except the next generation gets bored by it...as the current should be already...neverscared
    • the manipulation on tiny scale is also way more glorious than some dickcheese stepping his foot on mars...neverscared
